    Bicycle Team Demonstration

    This year (2001), there was also a team demonstration of a possible bicycle competition,
    to be run in parallel with the foot race. The team members, from Princeton, were:
  • Jade Vinson, Rob Murray, Scott Rickard
    They designed a race course of 60 miles, consisting of 15 miles on the towpath and 45 miles on roads.
    Their race lasted a total time of 2:42. Their average speed was 22.2 mph.
    Here is a description of the course:

    
    Leg # (towpath or road)[distance in miles]: description
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Leg 1 (towpath)[5]:	Landing Lane Bridge to South Bound Brook Lock
    Leg 2 (road)  [15]:	South Bound Brook Lock to Route 518, Rocky Hill
    		(Weston Canal (623) -> Weston Road -> Mettler's Road ->
    		 Amwell Road -> Market Street -> Canal Road -> 518) 
    Leg 3 (towpath)[4]:	Route 518, Rocky Hill to Kingston Lock, at Route 27
                      	turn around and back to Route 518, Rocky Hill
    Leg 4 (road)  [30]:	Route 518, Rocky Hill Loop
     		(518 -> Canal -> Market -> Amwell -> Mettler's -> Weston -> 
      		 Weston Canal -> Cottontail -> Campus -> Elizabeth -> 
      		 New Brunswick -> Cedar Grove -> Weston -> Mettler's -> 
      		 Amwell -> Market -> Canal -> 518)
    Leg 5 (towpath)[6]:	Route 518, Rocky Hill to Alexander Road, Princeton
